The Chicago Tribune Names Feldco Windows, Siding and Doors a Winner of the Chicago 2017 Top Workplaces Award

“We have an exceptional group of employees here at Feldco, and I am thrilled for us to be recognized by the Tribune.”

DES PLAINES, Ill. November 10, 2017

Feldco Windows, Siding and Doors has been awarded a 2017 Top Workplaces honor by the Chicago Tribune. The Top Workplaces lists are based solely on the results of employee feedback in a survey administered by Energage, LLC. Several aspects of workplace culture were measured, including Connection, Alignment and Execution, just to name a few.

“The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest. And oftentimes, people assume it’s all about fancy perks and benefits,” says Doug Claffey, CEO of Energage. “But to be a Top Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for organizational health. And who better to ask about work life than the people who live the culture every day – the employees. Time and time again, our research has proven that what’s most important to them is a strong belief in where the organization is headed, how it’s going to get there, and the feeling that everyone is in it together.” Claffey adds, “Without this sense of connection, an organization doesn’t have a shot at being named a Top Workplace.”

“Being named a Top Workplace again is a great honor,” says Feldco President, Ron Gerstung. “We have an exceptional group of employees here at Feldco, and I am thrilled for us to be recognized by the Tribune.” Feldco operates by five keys to success; Customer Delight, Accountability, Teamwork, Professionalism and Productivity. “These keys, along with our unique company culture, results in happy employees, happy customers and success across the board,” adds Gerstung. “It fills me with great pride to share this award with our entire team.”

Brad grew up in a small town in northern Iowa. He studied chemistry in college, graduated, and married his wife one month later. They were then blessed with two baby boys within the first four years of marriage. Having babies gave their family a desire to return to the old paths – to nourish their family with traditional, homegrown foods; rid their home of toxic chemicals and petroleum products; and give their boys a chance to know a simple, sustainable way of life. They are currently building a homestead from scratch on two little acres in central Texas. There’s a lot to be done to become somewhat self-sufficient, but they are debt-free and get to spend their days living this simple, good life together with their five young children.
